A snapshot of the activities characteristics on how it may impact your team
Bond over the story of the women who built Singapore
Journey through Singapore’s cultural sites on a collaborative, synergetic adventure inspired by the Samsui women, the pioneering labourers who helped build the nation. Working in teams, participants pick up clues at game stations, solve challenging heritage puzzles and complete hands-on tasks that require every single member to pitch in. As the mission unfolds, teams help the Samsui woman transport her ‘bricks’ and, in return, she shares her story of building Singapore. It is a powerful platform for bonding that draws on the strengths of all members, proving that when everyone participates, the whole team wins while learning more about Singapore’s history along the way.

Program details
A wandering Samsui woman gets lost in modern day Singapore and desperately wants to return back in time to the 1930s. A mad professor has developed a time machine but refuses to help the Samsui as she has no money. Will your team be the one that helps her break into the professor’s house and get her back to her era?
In your teams, go on a quest across local cultural sites, unlocking clues by completing tasks and solving heritage puzzles. Work together to help the Samsui woman along the way and she’ll share her story of building Singapore with you.
This collaborative activity builds team spirit through games that require participation from every individual, encourages teams to tap on the strengths of all members, and offers an interesting platform to learn more about Singapore’s history.
